"Let's talk from the founding of the Glenvarga Empire. Originally, it was a small country where a few tribes, flowing into a land with an imperial capital, grew up a few decades later, using incredible power with trained soldiers to annexe the surrounding small nations and instantly being said to be a great power"

The founding of that country is now 600 years old.

That's what's known to the public.

Thanks to the strong combat capability of the flowing minority tribes, they also had the power to win wars with the small countries around them.

But one historian says, 'Why was it flowing through the land despite a tribe that had so much power?' There was a question.

There were various theories about this question, and the theory that the land originally inhabited had been evicted because of problems in the land where it originally inhabited because it could not be inhabited due to environmental changes, because there were stronger tribes, etc., was powerful.

So no one thinks that it was lifted by the forces that were originally in the land that flowed in the weak tribes.

"The power that the flowing tribe has acquired. That was the power of the Labyrinth Lord."

They discovered that there was a labyrinth in a land where no one lived.

That is the identity of the force unknown where it was obtained.

"I see. With the labyrinth, you can raise any level you want"

Summon demons to crusade against people who want to level up.

It is also possible to be attacked irresistibly with one order of the Labyrinth Lord, so it is very easy to level up. Everyone will cooperate if they know they also need the magic necessary for the summons.

You can call as many powerful weapons as you like, as long as you have other magic.

They gained the power not to be driven out in the land that flowed.

"The first labyrinth lord in that tribe was the son of a man who was chief"

Eventually, with the power of the labyrinth in his hands, he became interested in the country and named the emperor.

"We have acquired great power to merge ambitious surrounding countries, but as you know, even labyrinth lords can't beat life expectancy"

It also embraced the man who became the maze lord.

That's why I left only one rule behind after my own death.

"If, after his death, a man emerges who has become the Lord of the Labyrinth, he must immediately give up the throne of the Emperor"

The first emperor passed away leaving only such a rule behind.

After the death of the first emperor, many adventurers challenged the labyrinth, but by then it had already been built to the fiftieth floor underground, and no one could reach it.

"You've often been able to leave such a rule behind."

Even though he was an emperor of absolute power, it is difficult to leave behind rules that would allow anyone to become an emperor if only such conditions were met.

"The first emperor, who had the experience of persecuting the land where he originally lived, hated badly that blood other than his own tribe would enter his descendants. But it was not preferable for all our own blood to thicken in doing politics. He's been pretty lame about leaving the rules behind."

Binding by marriage becomes important when it is about the size of a country.

I really need to take in some other blood.

"So the first emperor applied two tricks. One is to place demons in front of the lowest level that cannot be outfought with a great deal of strength, and to evacuate all intruders. And the second is to strengthen the power to defeat the demon so that whoever inherits his blood in color can defeat it."

Some of those who challenged the labyrinth may have reached the demons before the lowest level, but they have all been defeated.

For this reason, the eldest son of the first emperor took over the emperor, and his grandson, his great-grandson, took over.

By that time, the rule that labyrinth lords could be emperors had been forgotten by everyone.

But the turning point came when my great-grandson was emperor.

Those who reached the lowest level of the labyrinth appeared after the death of the first emperor.

"The man was one of the royal family, apparently a nephew of the emperor at the time. In accordance with the rules laid down by the First Emperor, the Emperor's status, which was to be ceded to the Emperor's son, was to be ceded to his nephew. But what I'm not convinced of is who was supposed to be the emperor."

Suddenly I couldn't get the status I was supposed to inherit.

Naturally, you can't be convinced of such a result.

It was that the action taken there would revolt in solidarity with those who would agree with me.

Somewhere similar to this war.

"But the results were tragic. The rebels were ravaged by demons who appeared out of nowhere with those who cooperated, and things were suppressed without a real rebellion."

I know why.

The power of the labyrinth lord was forgotten so that the rule that the labyrinth lord could be emperor was forgotten, and the person who tried to rebel was insulting the power of the labyrinth lord.

If you're a Labyrinth Lord, you can only strengthen your own people by calling the demons you need to raise the level. If that were the case, it would probably mean summoning (Sammon) a demon to attack nearby.

There's no way just humans can beat labyrinth lords.

"Three times since then, the royal family has appeared to be the labyrinth lord, and the emperor at the time had immediately ceded his throne"

"With that said... you had an emperor who had handed over the throne for a short period of several years since he took office about 200 years ago"

Melissa, who was listening, was remembering about the previous emperor.

The emperor had given the throne of the emperor to a person who was not his own son, but only one of the royal family, even though he was still in his thirties but had not been ill.

"You're a previous generation of labyrinth lords. He didn't know about the rules of the emperor's reign, but he got to the bottom, so he became a maze lord and an emperor."

I don't know how hard it was to be a labyrinth lord.

But as an administrator, I know I can't be half ready to reach the basement fiftieth floor.

"Well, you've become a maze lord."

You need to touch the nucleus of the labyrinth on the lowest level of the labyrinth in order to become a labyrinth master.

If you're not cheating like me, it's hard if you're not an adventurer told to be a legend.

"Though I was the son of a man who was an emperor, it equates to not having nobility. That's why I earned my living as an adventurer."

Luckily I should say. I had no difficulty with my combat ability thanks to the fact that I was drawing the blood of the royal family who was repeating the war.

"It costs money to maintain it because of all the things that made it a party for as many as nine people in the Great Zone. So when I didn't have the money, I was making money in a labyrinth in the Imperial City. But one day I realized that the deeper I dived into the labyrinth, the more power I was gaining."

"Protecting the Imperial Labyrinth" is effective for status only while diving into the Labyrinth.

It took me a while to realize the effect because it was a skill that would be deactivated if I went outside the labyrinth.

"The further back the labyrinth, the more gradually the status will rise for humans with this blessing."

The status was starting to rise by 1,000 for every 10 level deep dive.

It's a broken skill from a normal adventurer challenging the labyrinth.

But if I had that skill, I'd be convinced I could reach the bottom of the labyrinth on my own.

If you have a status that is almost the same as it is now, you can overwhelm labyrinth demons and so on.

"I didn't know what was at the bottom of the labyrinth, and I didn't know the rules that I could be an emperor if I became a labyrinth lord. I guess I could have gotten to the bottom more easily by myself, but I wanted to clear the labyrinth as a party with these guys who were family now anyway."

The fact that he was not a member of the family is nothing but a foothold if you try to be a labyrinth lord.

We needed to move on while Rio protected us.

Still, we were able to reach the lowest level and become labyrinth lords.

"This was the reason I was able to become a Crown Prince when I had a low right to inherit the throne."

Unknown Labyrinth Attackers can become Emperors.

That rule was making Rio come to life.
